There are tears of joy in my eyes. You continue to be a magician. David told me about metacourrses and I will definitely try that this weekend. Beth >>> Online 09/14/06 5:49 PM >>> Hi Beth, Your initial backup file was not restoring, so I made a new backup file for you and it restored successfully to BOTH of your classes. Take a look. Big question. Are both of these the same exact courses? If so, you can save yourself some time and effort (such as restoring this same course TWICE to 2 different CRNs, by using a metacourse. See online video at: http://teach.lanecc.edu/moodle Joe >>> Beth Naylor 09/14/06 4:55 pm >>> I tried going to the restore a different way and now BOTH sections of FN 225 are gone from my a account. Is it correct to select restore to existing course deleting it first? Bethh >>> Online 09/14/06 4:18 PM >>> Hi Beth, I just looked. Those courses certainly did not restore correctly, so I wouldn't have any problem with the restore, deleting first option you are supposed to use. Joe >>> Beth Naylor 09/14/06 4:01 pm >>> I finally got around to looking at the empty shells you did for me, Joe, and they seem very strange. There are none of the Administration blocks the way there are in the ones I didn't delete. I think something is wrong. I closed all of my applications, but they are still strange and my other two are fine. Sorry to bother you. You probably won't get to this before the workshops. I'm coming to the one on Advanced Moodle. I don't know how I went about getting one of my classes restored perfectly and screwed up the other one. i watched your flash movie again and I'm really going to be nervous when I get to the step to restore first deleting the existing course. The courrses with the strange empty shells are 20718 FN 225 Nutrition and 21277 FN 225 Nutrition Beth >>> Online 09/11/06 12:22 PM >>> Okay Beth, You are all set now. Sorry, no written instructions yet. I'm in the middle of making some quick flash movie files on Moodle. Should have them posted later today. http://teach.lanecc.edu/moodle >>> Beth Naylor 09/11/06 12:12 pm >>> OK, Joe. Here are the CRNs. And are there written instructions? The two CRNs are 20718 FN 225 Nutrition and 21277 FN 225 Nutrition Beth >>> Online 09/11/06 11:06 AM >>> Beth, No problem. You can't actuall delete a Moodle course. You can delete and restore the wrong information to an empty shell, but the shell will remain. I'm guessing you simply assigned the course shells to your old naylore account. Let me know which course names and CRN's you lost and I'll reassignm them to you. Joe >>> Beth Naylor 09/11/06 9:55 am >>> Hi That was definitely part of my my problem. Another part is that I found Firefox made it much more clear what was happening with the download and upload process. Now I have a new problem. I DELETED the shells David created for my two FN 225 courses. I remembered Joe saying on the video an instruction about restoring and either first deleting or NOT deleting the old ourse. Well, I chose wrong. I will email David. I don't see written instructions about it. Are there written instructions someplace? It's easy to do correctly, but it's perhaps easier to do incorrectlt and i'd like something written in front of me. Thanks, Beth >>> Online 09/10/06 11:41 AM >>> You need to be uploading the file that has the .zip extension NOT the folder the MAC unzipped for you. Let me know how it goes, Meredith >>> Beth Naylor 09/10/06 11:34 AM >>> Hi I think that's what 'm doing and I can't see why it's not working. When I select the backup data on I downloaded to my computer it wants me to go to the next level as you can see on the attached screenshot. I just downloaded Firefox as I was usinig Safari and the sanme thing happened. Could this have anything to do with me having the course I downloaded from still in the Previous terms area? Beth >>> Online 09/10/06 9:13 AM >>> Uploading files and folders are the same. In your fall Mooldle course click on 'Restore' (left side). On the next screen choose 'Upload a File'. Then proceed to follow the directions in the movie. If this is not where you are getting stuck, give me a call and we'll figure it out. Or we can meet early next week on campus if you're there.

I heard Joe's voice right away but I didn't see the screen shots Joe was referring to until about a fourth of the way through. It took that long to finish completely loading.It was really fun to hear Joe's voi ------=_Part_116_14872382.1182531714750--
